OK, we're three years into the Pioli era, and there have been some significant moves in the past couple of weeks, so:

Do you approve of the way that Pioli is performing his job as the GM of the Chiefs?

Simple yes or no. You can qualify your responses via post.

He took McCluster over Cody. If you make the decision to switch to the 3-4, you better to do whatever it takes to get a NT.

And he used the Tony G pick on Arenas. He's made shitty moves.

He's also given us two great drafts. He's fleshed out the roster while keeping us drastically under the cap.

there is no simple answer

1. his drafts and ability to craft contracts are looking better and better...honestly, some of these contracts are ridiculous and it makes me wonder if he slips GHB to agents

2. his investment in Cassel, and worse his complacency with the QB position, is unforgivable...

3. we still don't know about his ability to hire a coach: Haley was a dumpster fire, and Crennel - while admired, and a great DC - has a history of failure as a HC

so in one area he's great, in a second he's an absolute failure, and in a third he's still a question mark...

At this point, Cassel is the albatross. There is no answer but "no" for me because of this.

The interior O-line was more about feeling there were quality guards and centers, than desperate need.

So far we got a good TE, an acceptable RB, and a great RT.

I'm concerned about NT. Interior O-line can be addressed on the draft.

I would give Pioli a B-. Up to a B+ if we still add a vet DT.

Yes because there was no way to fix the QB without getting one of the first 2 picks in the draft or convincing PM to come here. The former would have been far too expensive and the latter was outside of his control mostly. But, we can't win a SB without a good QB. I have to hope he'll find someone next year or so. With the strong team we have, even Cassel will look surprisingly good this year.

Milkman said it elsewhere -- when you have a good running game and a good O-line it can create the illusion that Cassel is a pro bowl QB ... until we play a top team.

bigdaddychieffan

03-17-2012, 09:49 PM

I am not sure that there have been a ton of great QB options outside of PM right now that are just heads and shoulders better than Cassel. I guess we tried with PM and he apparantly wasn't interested in us. He would rather go to Tenessee or Denver. Both of them have been hamstrung in improving their teams because they are waiting on a response from him. We weren't going to get Luck or RGIII. Quinn isn't that bad of an option for competition/backup role. We really haven't seen what Cassel could do with a good line (at least as a Chief). We know he was serviceable with a good running game and there is a chance ours might be the best it has been in a long time this year. We now have 2 good tight ends and that is good cause he doesn't look past 10 yards. We could be a really ground it out type of team and with a good NT/draft we could be scary good on defense with getting E. Berry back. I think there is reason to be excited. We are a overall much more talented team since he took over. Gets a B+ from me. If we get a franchise QB in the next 3 years then he will surely deserve an A. We also have one young team overall still and they are much more talented than the young team we had under Herm and Carl.

No. The Matt Cassel experiment has gone on for FAR too long. Anyone else would be doing serious prison time for stealing so much damn money.

There is absolutely NO WAY that Matt Cassel would have kept his job 3 years with any other franchise.

This is a passing league. We have had the WORST starting QB in terms of yards per attempt since he has taken over the offense. The soft schedule, and a GENIUS performance as offensive coordinator by Charlie Weiss got Matt Cassel one respectable season that landed him in the Pro Bowl, but the truth however, was that when we really needed Cassel in that playoff game against the Ravens, he couldnt deliver anything but checkdowns or interceptions.

This offense needs a leader that can shoulder the load, put the team on his back and win the game with his arm if needed. This team right now for all its improvement, is never going to be any better than Marty's teams.

If the game is not played PERFECTLY, one mistake costs you the game. When theres no time on the clock for the running game, we dont have a guy who can move the football quickly down the field. Our D can hold and hold and hold and hold, and when Shat throws that pick down in our redzone and they score on the short field, we're fecked.

No number of signings is ever going to cover up his blatant disregard for how badly Cassel has performed, and his lack of trying to rectify the situation and get someone in here that gives us a chance to win. REALLY WIN.

Not just the soft schedule regular season games, but the tough games against the best teams in the league. Playoff games.

Until Pioli delivers a Quarterback that can utilize all the weapons that he's signed, all it amounts to is good intentions.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

-All of his other hypocritical rhetorical ticks in interviews that piss me off (ex: "competition at every position" = earn your spot every time you step onto the field unless you're at the most important fucking position on the field and your name is Matt Cassel)

-The amazing number of excuses he/his supporters make up to justify these abortions of decisions

He's better than Carl. He isn't trying to convert players from S to CB. And he's working within a budget. Wiretaps are pretty expensive without a court order or the NSA to back you.

Its quite easy to point at any free agent QB and say we should've signed him. Its a whole nother thing to bring them in and convince him that out of all 32 NFL teams he could play for, ours is the best fit.

That's HIS job. Talent acquisition. He has said it time after time. If He fails to do said above, he won't have a job long. Why do you think the Winston thing drug on for so long when he had other visits scheduled? Pioli knew how important this acquisition was to not only the team but his job.

If this is not enough then I am pretty sure you've drunken OTWP's sperm.

Are you pretty sure of that? Because last time I checked, he dumped Kyle Orton even though he was cheaper than Cassel. He promised us competition, instead he went hard after a backup. There was never any talk of being interested in Matt Flynn. Never any talk of the Chiefs being interested in RGIII. There was talk of interest in Henne, but never any mention of him considering a visit wit the Chiefs.

Let's be real here. The Chiefs seem to think that the only thing that would take the job away from Matt Cassel is a player as good as Peyton Manning.

Wished he woulda waited to see how the Alex Smith issue goes down and not be so trigger happy on Brady Quitter. BUT I do like that he saw the holes at the RB spot and OT spot and filled them with quality/elite players. I'm gonna say he is going on the right track. But what I don't understand is having 3 qbs when we only activate 2 a game two of them are below average and one who hasn't gotten a chance to play yet. I do have to say that I am excited(bad or good) to see how Matt Cassel/Stanzi/Quinn play and I do hope all them, depening who starts, plays very well.

chiefzilla1501

03-18-2012, 10:03 AM

A++ all the way.

There's really nothing that he could've done better.

They should have signed Orton and cut Cassel.
In a year where they had tons of cap space, they chose to go cheap on an inferior, older CB. Stanford Routt has probably 3 years left in his legs. Routt will be 29 in July. Carr will be 26 in May. And Carr didn't even break the bank. He was paid a reasonable contract.
And the fact that the Chiefs whiffed on the Peyton Manning sweepstakes despite being interested, yes, that's a very big problem.
They completely whiffed on Paul Solilai. So we STILL don't have a Nose Tackle.

I can't believe how much excitement there is over the Chiefs upgrading with a backup RB and a Right Tackle. Those are two definite Super Bowl positions for sure.

The Chiefs get a C purely on the QB situation. They get a D when you factor everything else.

In a year where they had tons of cap space, they chose to go cheap on an inferior, older CB. Stanford Routt has probably 3 years left in his legs. Routt will be 29 in July. Carr will be 26 in May. And Carr didn't even break the bank. He was paid a reasonable contract.
And the fact that the Chiefs whiffed on the Peyton Manning sweepstakes despite being interested, yes, that's a very big problem.
They completely whiffed on Paul Solilai. So we STILL don't have a Nose Tackle.

I can't believe how much excitement there is over the Chiefs upgrading with a backup RB and a Right Tackle. Those are two definite Super Bowl positions for sure.

The Chiefs get a C purely on the QB situation. They get a D when you factor everything else.

Youre a troll. GTFO

Carr getting 10 million as opposed to Routt getting 6? I guarantee Routt will put up better numbers than Carr. Manning is a bust. Solilai resigned with his own team and to be honest hes pretty overrated. Wipe out the sand

I don't know how anyone can say Pioli/Hunt are not doing a good job. They have steadily made this team better, with the exception of the first draft which was not very good. But you have to give them a pass because they got a very late start.

1. Drafts have been good (not great).
2. FA have been very, very good. Quality players without way over paying and killing the cap sitaution.
3. Coaches, an error was made with Haley, but again it was a late start to the process. And they did not hang on for 3,4,5 years hoping things got better. They recognized Haley did not have the right personality and moved on. They have not been shy about bringing in quality coaches and I think Romeo was the right guy for the job given the situaiton.
4. By far the biggest critisim is the QB situation. Assuming they do not give Cassel a free pass this season, I don't see how you can really complain about it either. Name one QB they have passed on in the draft you can say was a huge error; 2009 Shanchez looks to be nothing more than an average QB at best; 2010 everyone was begging for Clasen which turned out to be a very good pass on the Chiefs part. There is not any QB you can look at today and say they should have taken. Stafford and Bradford where #1 picks the Chiefs were never going be able to trade up for.

What about FA? Again I don't see a single FA QB you can point to and say the Chiefs should have went and got. The fact is franchise QB are very, very hard to find. Reaching for one you don't think is going to be that kind of guy (and history says he won't) only sets back the franchise. You are much better off building a great roster and then finding the diamond in the rough.....a Big Ben or Tom Brady.

Pioli may be arrogant just like King Carl, but he knows how to build a football team. And for all of the complaints about Clark being a tight ass I totally disagree. Yes, he probably does look for value in contracts, but I don't think that is a bad thing. You must manage the cap in the NFL or you just waste your draft picks when you have to let them walk away. Clark has spent money on some big name coaches and he is spending some on some great FA.

All of you critics need to come forward and confess you were wrong. Give a little love for the roster Pioli/Hunt are building, and most of all quit the complaining about absolutely every thing that happens.

Drafts have been very good? Not great?

Pioli has been a Top 5 drafter since arriving in Kansas City. And that's including the 2009 draft.

Routt will put up bigger numbers...for penalties, TDs given up. With all that cap room, Pioli wants to take a downgrade over 3% of our salary cap.

Manning will have a bust in Canton. You stating definitively that he will fail is a total joke.

You can't know much about Soliai if you can't even spell his name right. Is he better than Gordon? Right now that is our starter.

Routt has consistently been in the top of CBs in the league. You dont know what the fuck you're talking about. I hope I dont make you cry into your Captain Piccard life size plushy.

Are you waiting on a second and third receiver? yes
An elite run game? yes
A good offensive line? yes
A top ten defense? yes
A great pair of bookend passrushers? yes
An elite secondary? yes

I'm waiting on a NT and QB too.

But let's get ****ing real here.

Pioli aced the multiple choice part of the test, but when he got to the Essay question he doodled pictures of airplanes crashing into the ground.

Everyone wants a franchise QB & that QB is going to take close to 1/5 of your cap space
Pioli slowly is proving he can manage that tight wire act

I'd say he's earned a C+.

It's clear that he was able to bring in talent but he hired a fucking chimp to paint the Mona Lisa...
